Clinton Portis To Announce Retirement

Portis played in a Redskins era plagued with terrible passing offense, mediocre offensive line, and a HORRIBLE front office. At times, Portis was the Redskins offense. Personally I think his body broke down because of a combination of being in the tail end of the every-down RB era, being the only offensive weapon of this team, and for some reason the team didn't reduce his workload until it was too late.

I never thought his antics were that bad, but then again I am not one who thinks that we need to have 53 saints in the roster. Personally I think he is one of the most memorable Redskins, a hell of a RB, and probably one of the best blocking RBs ever.

I'll always, always remember his first carry as a Redskin, and he'll be a favorite of mine for a long time.

Long TD run vs. the Bucs I believe. I will also remember him blocking the sh*t out of Kiawanuka.

I would have liked to see Portis surpass 10,000 career rushing yards at least. As for him breaking Riggins Redskin all time rushing record, it just wasn't meant to be.

I was at the game for Clinton's first carry. The place went crazy.

Loved Clinton Portis! Don't think he's a hall of famer, but he was a solid back and a huge reason why the 'skins had any success at all during the 2000's.

Yupp. Love me some CP.

In his prime he was one of the better backs in the league. Ultimately though I think he falls short of the Hall.

I agree! When Portis was healthy, he was pretty solid.

I miss Samuels and Jansen as much as CP. These bags we got know should be tried for crimes against humanity.
